Presentation Abstract
Cloud services offer cost-effective and reliable solutions for many home and business applications. Product design, manufacturing, and logistics can leverage the same cloud services and associated applications. Paired with AI/ML, they may also offer the option to enlarge the spectrum of cost-effective and reliable solutions. Manufacturing-as-a-Service is the manufacturing community response to the more known Software-, Platform-, and Infrastructure-as-a-Service deployed in home and business applications. Product design as the leading process to manufacturing and distribution as its subsequent process, are bound to follow the same approach to become Product design- and Distribution-as-a-Service. This talk defines a framework that brings customers, manufacturers, and other service providers on a common smart cloud platform. On one end of the process, customers select a preferred design with the aid of AI/ML-based solutions, and at the other end they receive the finished product by means of smart logistics services.

Radu Babiceanu is a Professor of Systems Engineering with the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida. He also serves as the Director of the Cybersecurity and Assured Systems Engineering Center. Radu has received his Ph.D. in Industrial and Systems Engineering from Virginia Tech in 2005. He teaches systems engineering courses, such as System Architecture Design, System Quality Assurance, and System Safety and Certification. He also developed and delivered short training courses for industry in the area of system safety engineering and certification. His research interests are in the aviation and aerospace systems domain, with emphasize in safety-critical systems assurance, formal modeling and verification, and overall systems engineering.
